Lacrosse All Stars is pleased to announce a new media partnership with the National Lacrosse Classic -Brogden Cup that includes the live production and streaming of six international lacrosse games at the end of December. Fans worldwide will have the chance to watch USA top high school talent face-off against the best players from the Ontario Lacrosse Association.
Hosted at Jacksonville University in Florida and designed to promote international fellowship between the United States and Canada, the Brogden Cup features gameplay at the U19 Boys, U17 Girls and U15 Boys levels. Aspiring young athletes get the opportunity to experience international field lacrosse competition at the highest level outside of the FIL World Games, which are limited to every four years.
Teams representing the US and Ontario, Canada, will compete in a three game series combining points from the boys and girls divisions to decide which country takes home the Brogden Cup. The U19 and U17 series – six games total – will be live streamed December 27-29 by Lacrosse All Stars.
“The Brogden Cup embodies a special narrative that can help inspire more players to enjoy the game while striving to compete at the highest level. We’re pumped to put these games on display for the worldwide lacrosse community to see, free of charge!”
– Connor Wilson, LaxAllStars
The event was founded in the 1990’s and is named after H. McCullough Brogden who played at Johns Hopkins University in the early 1930’s. H.M. Brogden played on the 1932 US Olympic team. The Summer games were held in Los Angeles that year, and Brogden relished in representing his country.
The Brogden Cup is organized by LEGACY Global Sports, an elite youth sports event and management company company. LEGACY offers tours, tournaments, events and services across all major sports around the globe.
“The media prowess of LaxAllStars remains unmatched in our game. We’re excited to collaborate with them and shine a light on the Brogden Cup. Fans can expect to witness some of greatest high school talent from the US and Ontario. We’ve designed this event to serve as an inspiring platform for the next generation of high school lacrosse players in the United States.”
– Joel Franklin, Legacy Global Sports
Players from the United States qualify to play in the annual Brogden Cup by winning the National Lacrosse Classic (NLC), which takes place annually in mid-July.
Through a comprehensive regional tryouts process, the best high school lacrosse players in the country are selected to represent their respective regions at the NLC. The NLC Champion advances on to face Ontario in the Brogden Cup each December.
“Any time the US and Canada play lacrosse, the games are competitive. I would not expect anything different this year.” – Stan Cockerton, Hall of Fame Player and Past FIL President
